Everything proceeded exactly as planned.
Until Ethan received his award.
The room erupted in applause.
One of Texas’s most respected cardiologists.
Community leader.
Philanthropist.
Role model.
Ethan accepted the crystal award and approached the microphone.
He smiled at the crowd.
Then at me.
“My wife Madison has supported me throughout this journey…”
The lie almost made me laugh.
“…and tomorrow marks another exciting chapter in our lives.”
Interesting.
Tomorrow.
I wondered if Sophia knew about that line.
